My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in paints, the same being designed more especially as an improvement upon my PatentNo. 249,239.

My present invention consists in the employment and combination of coal-tar, beeswax, resin, litharge, gypsum, and asbestus in certain proportions in the manufacture of a fire and water proof paint, which is especially adapted as a roofing-paint.

The following formula may be employed in making my improved paint: To thirty-two gallons of coal-tar I add five pounds of beeswax, five pounds of resin, ten pounds of lith- Serial No. 161,030. (No specimens.)

arge, fifteen pounds of gypsum, and twenty pounds of asbestus.

The above ingredients are placed in a receptacle and heated so as to cause the first three mentioned ingredients to liquefy. The ingredients are then mixed so as to be thoroughly incorporated with each other, and while heated the composition is applied by means of a brush.

The above composition, besides coating the surface to which it is applied, so as to render the same fire and water proof, will permeate the material, so as to prevent decay.

The abovedescribed paint may be used to advantage on metal as well as wood.

I claim The improved paint consisting of coal-tar, beeswax, resin, litharge, gypsum, and asbestus, in the proportions specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
